[Burt]ness Tarn, or Bleaberry Tarn, lies of the south-west side
of Buttermere, in a recess between High Stile and Red Pike; its
stream forms the cataract called Sour-milk gill.- Floutern Tarn
serves as a landmark in passing between Buttermere and Ennerdale;
as Burnmoor Tarn does between Wasdale-head and Eskdale.- Devoke
Water, connected with the Esk near Ravenglass, is famous for the
excellence of its trout, and as a place of resort for water fowl.

There are some other small tarns, of little consequence in
themselves, and seldom seen by strangers; therefore they scarcely
require to be noticed. Such are Eel Tarn, Stony Tarn, and Blea
Tarn, in Eskdale, and the two tarns above Bowderdale in the
Wasdale mountains.

THE RIVERS
Of this district are not of large dimensions; but issuing from
rocky mountains and running in pebbly channels, the water they
contain is remarkable for its clearness and purity. From the
central cluster of mountains about Bowfell, Scawfell, and Gable,
many of them derive their origin; others have their source in the
neighbourhood of Helvellyn and High Street.
